Probably the 230v heating element failure.

I had that happen, after a lot of off grid camping in the south with very hard water. First time I used the electric element is blew. When I replaced it , it was covered in scale.

Can I change the element or is it a new boiler thanks

You can change the electrical heating element but it‘s not always simple, as boiler is removed for the process.
Your other option is just use gas, which is cheap if using refillable cylinders. Some motorhomes don’t come with the electric option, and just use gas.

Does the water boiler have its own internal fuse

Not sure what water heater you have but mine has a built in trip in case it gets turned on when the tank is empty to prevent the element getting burnt out. It has a reset button on the front behind a small plastic flap.
